Q: Hi,
I have the above stocks in my wife's account and I'm looking to diversify further. Ultimately, I'm looking to build my own ETF through individual stocks. What else would you add here to fully diversify?

Thanks
Robert

Q: If you were to pick 1 Canadian bank for a long term hold (10 - 15 years), which one would you choose? Also, what order would you rank these banks?

Q: I asked a couple weeks ago, but I was too early at that point. My question is on short positions on the Canadian banks: have they moved up measurably since they reported, both on the Canadian and U.S. sides? I'm wondering if the shorts will be out in full force in January again this year, and possibly they're building up positions before they announce.

Q: With most bank results in, just waiting on TD now, and the biggest hits to earnings having been loan-loss provisions and capital markets (in the case of RY) can you see if short interest has again spiked on the backs of these earnings, or has it remained relatively flat since the famous 'big short' trader publicly shorted them in the early part of this year?

Q: Andrew McCreath mentioned TD's large position in the Ameritrade deal this morning and expected TD to come out 3% to 5% higher. It didn't just up a little less than 1%. Is there an opportunity here ? Adding a third bank to my portfolio would bring financials up to around 10-12 % depending on how much I bought which wouldn't break my heart anyway......... Thank you for your great service.

Q: I'm 21 years old and am planning on making a TFSA portfolio of Canaidan companies (Mostly Blue-chip dividend paying stocks, IE, Banks, Telcos etc....) to buy and hold forever. I'm also planning on adding SHOPIFY in my TFSA and placing BABA in my RRSP. I was thinking XAW in RRSP as well top get american/international exposure, Just wondering your thoughts on this and any advice would be great. Also do you think it's a good idea to invest now or wait for a market correction or just avergae in over time in all of these companies.

Q: In my RRSP account - I am looking to add 1 more company to the above list. I am somewhat of a conservative growth investor - would like something that will increase over time yet paying respect to risk. I am looking at BIP.UN or SLF - can you provide your opinion and maybe suggest others that you feel might "fit" ? Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Wondering about where to contribute and add to next . I have a TFSA and RSP self directed ( no unreg'd trading accounts )

Started investing in the TFSA 1st so my RSP is far behind it in $ levels . Now that I have contribution room , plus more on Jan 1 should i go with ..

Topping up EMA in my RSP , would be heaviest weighting if so with TD on top right now .
Topping up RY , NFI , MFC or NPI ( all being medium weight with TD and AQN on top )
Or adding BEP or SRU as new holding to either TFSA or RSP , leaning towards BEP myself .

Thanks
